A team of walkers are tackling the Beachy Head to Brighton South Downs Charity Walk to raise more than £5,000 for The Wingate Centre.
Sam McCallum is leading a 40-strong team, which includes his colleagues from building services contractor Briggs & Forrester Living and their friends from the company’s supply chain.
The team have already beaten their £5,000 fundraising target for the Wingate as they’ve raised £5,500 with more than a month to go until the 25-mile challenge on September 25.
And they’d love more donations to help them increase this amount further. The more money that’s raised means our charity can give more children and adults the chance to enjoy our recreational activities and residential accommodation here in Wrenbury, near Nantwich.
"We’re passionate about creating opportunities for people to thrive"
As well as helping the Wingate, Sam and his team are supporting the Construction Industry Trust, which works to inspire and enable young people to access opportunities in the construction and built environment sectors.
Sam, Regional Director at Briggs & Forrester Living, says: “We’re proud to be taking on a charity walk as a team at Briggs & Forrester to raise vital funds for our group charity partners: Construction Youth Trust and The Wingate Centre.
“At Briggs & Forrester, we’re passionate about supporting communities and creating opportunities for people to thrive. This challenge is our way of coming together, pushing ourselves, and making a meaningful contribution to two incredible organisations that change lives every day.”
Sam and his team's fantastic efforts also mean they're among our Wingate1000 supporters – an initiative where businesses raise at least £1,000 a year to fund our charity's work for children and adults with SEND.
